- Gold~ ₹1700/10g
- Dow~ 850
- Nasdaq~ 145

It's really a question of risk. Tomorrow if world war 3 starts and there is a nuclear winter. Those stocks and even usd for that matter will be worthless. Gold on the other hand is always something that has value because of its limited supply
Limited supply on Earth*.
